Subject: RE: Tune Req: Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose (Traditional)
My acting teacher of a few years ago taught my class this version:

Rose, rose, rose, rose
Shall I ever see thee wed?
I marry that thou shalt
When thou art dead.

Hey, ho, nobody home
Bread nor meat nor money have I none
Still I will I will be merry

Ah, poor bird,
Take thy flight
Far above the sorrows of this sad night.
